Repeat Impressions Project of the Week-Monochromatic

Hi there!  This week it is my turn to share a Project of the Week with you.

One of my favorite things to do is Monochromatic cards.

Here is a simple definition of Monochromatic:
Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue.
Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints. Tints are achieved by adding white and shades and tones are achieved by adding a darker color, gray or black.
First, you need to pick your color scheme and go through your stash and gather some supplies:


Now, for my first card:


I stamped the Repeat Impressions Thanks A Bunch #1307E and the Repeat Impressions Posies 632-H in black ink and colored with markers.  For the sentiment, I  masked off the "A Bunch" and stamped the "Thanks" and then I repeated the process in reverse to get the sentiment stacked on the small white panel.  I stamped the floral posies randomly on the squares and then matted them with the darker purple cardstock.  I did add a tiny bit of green ink, but I think it really needed it.

Next, I wanted to create a cute Valentine card and this is what I came up with using my "pink" stash.




I stamped the sweet, sweet Hogs and Kisses #2812-G in black ink and colored them with some pink markers.  I thought I would "ham" it up a bit and add some googly eyes and red glitter lips :)

I hope you will give Monochromatic card making a try.  It really is fun and it is a great way to use up some scraps from your stash.

Wishing you a wonderful, creative week.
